Cisco Systems entered the middleware market when it launched its Application-Oriented Networking (AON) in late June. The technology is designed to add intelligence to the network so it can better understand business-application communications to support more effective and efficient business decisions. Cisco’s approach to AON is based on technology that moves beyond the packet level to read application-to-application messages flowing within the network, such as purchase orders, investment transactions, or shipment approvals.
